Yeah Yeah the Google Jockey can explain it away.

But someone on TMF years ago said - that importing poverty, and a march away from traditional family responsiblities will make the State responsible for things that the antiquated family unit USED to be responsible for.

pbs.org - Californias gov newsom says states budget deficit has grown to nearly billion

Cmon, tent cities. Highest child poverty. This DESPITE all the money flowing.

A Liberal's Paradise indeed, Segregation and Gilded. California, New York, whatever - rinse and repeat.
